I'm not leaving Cake

I have a dormant FB account, but I don't post there nor do I open it for content. I don't have any intention of using it, but I just haven't gotten around to deleting my profile yet. When I eventually do, it'll just be a silent deletion.

Leaving social media channels. Interesting concept. But if we think about it, what does it really mean? We've had interactions that created a mental bond, but was it with others or just as much with ourselves? It's not like real life, because once one meets there, the whole phenomena no longer applies.

There are users and words sent and received to include tags to add context. These can be connected via a phone number or an email which can be authored or received in written, video or audio form through an open feed on the web based on permissions given or granted. Oh how I wish it could be that easy. But really what is the difference between a voicemail, a text, a video, a podcast, a social post, a comment, an email, a word doc or a data file? Not much other than barriers of code coralling users into monetized gardens of interest. Still love Cake though. They are the least of the violators in my utopian dream. LOL.

Your comment about Cake running ads against topics is spot on Chris. I just wrapped up this podcast with Joe Rogan and Jack Dorsey where Dorsey repeatedly expresses his regret Twitter has not built in better features to search and follow by topics and interests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mP9OmOFxc4

Seems like Twitter may be looking at adding these features but my god does this seem like such a no brainer to me. I think this demonstrates how in front of this movement to bring controls back to the user Cake really is. Dorsey may have even referenced thoughtful conversations in the interview or something close to it. His wishful thinking sounded quite a bit like Cake. I'm sure you guys feel like you have quite a ways to go but at least you are one of the few platforms on the right path.
